Change . . .

I want you to know that my husband is not sick, at least not physically. He does not have alzheimers, nor has his cancer come back. Anyone who really knows me, knows that I would never leave this person who I have loved more than life itself for the last 20 years because he is ill or losing his memory, or anything like that. I made eternal covenants with this man.  Temple covenants. Promises in front of God.  Promises I have never taken lightly.  Promises I have always kept. 

I cannot tell you right now what I have been going through for the last two years.  The way my life has fallen apart completely in just the last two months. What I can tell you is that, knowing everything, there is not a one of you who would not make the exact same choice I am making, and many of you would have made it much sooner. 

It is quite easy to sit on the outside and look in and to make judgements about people without knowing all the facts.  In reality, what we see is only what people allow us to see, or what they are allowed to let us see. 

In time, I may be brave enough to tell you what exactly is going on, has been going on, but know this one thing for sure.  There is no way I would risk everything in the middle of a Global Pandemic to leave all that I have, to move halfway across the world, if there was any other choice I could make.

Mitzie will be fine. She will be with my friend Tina until such a time as I can bring her over to be with me. This is for our safety, mentally, emotionally and physically. That's all I will and can say about it at this time.  

The only reason I wrote anything about this yesterday was because many of you had been asking me what was up amongst other questions.  I have always tried to be honest and truthful in all of my writings and in what I have shared. I could not keep up a false front any longer.  To do so would be a deep disservice to myself and to you.  This is the last I will say about this for now. All future posts will be about other things. 

 

“We will endure this, yes. 

But we will do more than simply grit our teeth, 

hold on and wait for things to return to the old normal. 

We will move forward, and we will be better as a result.”
